Bedford Garden Club Presents New England Stone Walls

The Bedford Garden Club invites the public to learn the history and how to build New England Stone Walls.  In fields and on farms, along country roads, in woods and even in suburban developments – stone walls are everywhere in our famous New England landscape.  Kevin Gardner will talk about these unique New England structures.  He will address how and why New England came to acquire these walls, the way in which they and other dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed over time, and their significance to our unique landscape.

Kevin has been a stone wall builder for over 40 years.  He is a writer and producer for New Hampshire Public Radio, and also an actor, director and teacher of theater.  During the program, he will build a miniature wall.
